"God made no act without a cause
Nor heart without an aim."
(Ibid, 518)

Poem 623

How excellent the heaven-
When earth cannot be had-
How hospitable-then-the face
Of our old neighbor-God-.
(ibid, 307)

Poem 357

God is a distant stately lover
Woos as He states us - by His son
Verily a vicarious courtship
"Miles" and "Priscilla," were such an one.
((Ibid, 169)

Poem 487

"You love the Lord you cannot
see
You write Him every day
A little note when you awake
And further in the day
An ample letter-How you miss-
And would delight to see-
But then His house is but a step-
And mine's in Heaven you see."
(Ibid, 234)
